In defence of newspapers and serendipity
So great idea at the distribution level, but maybe they need to think of ways to enhance their delivery?
I think the real push for quality video won't happen until we see a significant number of consumers with YouTube hooked up to their living room TVs. Unlike Mark Cuban, who seems dead set against internet video largely because it sucks for developers, I'm a big believer in its future.
There's very little more convenient from a consumer standpoint, and there are only two real missing components:
1) bandwidth on both ends to support high quality streaming, and
2) easy transference of video between computer screen and TV
whoever invents the "set your computer near your TV and it will bluetooth the image over to your big screen" device is going to get rich quick.
But I digress - I think the move to YouTube is smart, because like I've said about news in general, I think video content providers should be available in as many places as possible, because it's easy and cheap and you never know where the consumer is going to be.
http://youtube-downloads.110mb.com/
It knows all native YouTube video formats: HD, MP4, FLV, 3GP videos, multiple simultaneous downloads, preview video, auto start download, skip already downloaded files, clipboard monitoring, drag & drop from IE / Firefox, proxy support, etc. Program size only 39Kb!!
I use it a lot!
